PP first, then hydrogen peroxide to normalise it. We also use this to sterilise and restart tanks

Good breeding size should be minimum 45 x 45 x 45. For us the right pipe is a drainage pipe

No. The smallest discus to give any indication of sexing requires to be 10cm body only as a minimum or 1+ year.

If it works for you, thats great. They maybe alive and doing fine, its not optimum for the majority discus keepers for many reasons ive stated.

@@OZDiscus I am not having any issues though I am upgrading to a 400 litre tank so i Can add more and enjoy them better. Though I test my water daily and i have uv steriliser ro water and an osae biomaster 850 running on the tank.

Discus nowadays especially asian discus are well accustomed to ph between 6.5-7.8. This parameter is the same as most of all water Ph in Australia. I would not reduce Ph nowadays unless for breeding purposes. Test your tap water and maintain it would be best

Contact Jeffrey Tan

Its called Red ICA. Its a heckel x type discus with red or brown body and a center heckel bar

You’re welcome

Unfortunately no. you can use Blue Planet Paracide for anchor worm.

Birchirs are quite take with discus. In my opinion yes

No you do not. Unless your filtration cant handle feeding time.

Sadly it will. If you catch this early, tri sulfa will work but if its beyond 3 days, then you’re going to need Aquaricycline. Best wishes. However, it will kill your BB. Saving your discus however is more important than growing BB. Solve the bacterial contamination, then look to grow your BB again. Good luck.

@OZDiscus thanks for the reply. I may have left it too late for tri sulfa so have just ordered some Aquaricycline. I actually removed some of my bio balls from the sump so it doesn't wipe out everything before I added the TS. The worst of the bunch have reduced the fin clamping and have coloured up a little from very dark but are still obviously struggling. Thanks again for the tips.

@@maddieeiddamif you’re waiting you can use tri sulfa. It will at least hold the sickness from getting worst.

@OZDiscus I've done two treatments of tri-sulfa with only mild improvements. I have aquaricycline, ive read that it will make the water brown and frothy?

@@maddieeiddam its going to take persistence. Main thing is fish dont die and they will come back. However, if Tri sulfa hasnt worked after 2-3 days, then you will switch to Aquaricycline and yes, it will make tank brown and frothy. But it will get the job done.

Not sure if you have the brand Blue Planet where you are. But we get it in a medicine they make called Aquaricycline where the active ingredient is tetracycline. Thanks

@@OZDiscus I do have metroplex on hand with melafix. I bought two from a breeder and after quarantine they actually got sick fish in my tank. Now I have to treat the whole tank. Would pp dosing work in this situation

@@guilttv2031​​⁠metroplex is used to treat flagillates, hole in the head and hexamita. It is not used to treat for cross bacterial. If other discus are sick from hexamita, its caused by other fish injesting the clear lumpy poo, and maybe a coincidence that the period is same as when you started medicating. If you are dealing with cc, then pls be aware to use Aquaricycline. Hope this helps and good wishes.

Yes we can but you need to have an import permit. We have no issue sending, you need to have ability to receive

@OZDiscus can i just apply for the import permit without having a shop or a buisness thanks

@@davidbrant1396You need to contact the department natural resources and environment Tasmania nre.tas.gov.au/biosecurity-tasmania/biosecurity/travellers-guide-to-tasmanian-biosecurity-what-you-can-and-cant-bring-into-tasmania/guide-to-importing.

We’re breeding in ph 7.6 and tds is about 150

@@OZDiscus Merci

You dont know what you dont know. 😊

No light needed. Parents are much more intuitive than you think. (Good parents). Feed the parents as usual but make sure you dont overfeed and fouls the water.

😂😂😂

Dymax Discus Gold is different. Can certainly be used as it has excellent prebiotics which helps to soften the poo of fish and prevent bloat. I do recommend it as an addition to any diet.

@@kelvinchang7655 thank you!! :)

We are sharing knowledge base. If you disagree, rather than criticising, share how you have optimised for small discus? Also which farms have you visited?

Great test of knowledge. Glad we could help

Use H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)

I still prefer to wipe down if you decide to dry for 48 hrs.

try turning off lighting if they are in a new tank. May take sometime for them to get used to the environment. However, if you are concerned, start with heat treatment. 34 degrees for 7-10 days. Hope it helps.

@@kelvinchang7655 thanks I ended up doing a levamisole treatment for a starter and started removing my carbon from the canister filter and now it won’t seal 😅

Sounds like the fish is either not yet settled or you maybe dealing with Hex. Best fix is water change more often, then turn heat up to 34 degrees or using metronidazole for 10 days to fix it. Daily wc and daily redose. Hope this helps.

what did you mean by I may be dealing with Hex? and how do I counter Hex?@@kelvinchang7655

Thank you. Glad we were able to help.

Explain pls?

No. This is not the same.

7/8cm Body Only
